Did you see the news story last week about citrus growing on Vancouver Island? Supposedly it can be grown for pennies per fruit as long as the plants are covered and given a bit of warmth in cold weather (the guy in the story was using old-fashioned outdoor Xmas lights). Obviously it’s not being grown at scale on the Island but the fact that it could be is interesting.
Food wise Canada is in good shape domestically apart from more tropical fruit like oranges and bananas. So much we can grow across the country
